Dr. Allan Jacob
Chairman SafePac, Florida

“We have used UpVote for several years in statewide, state senate, state house, countywide and municipal elections. Our preferred candidates almost always win because our turnout is so high. There is no more powerful tool available to achieve record turnout. In some off year elections we triple the general turnout. Our volunteers find Its format easy to master. UpVote’s “friend to friend” contact methodology guarantees that an entire community is engaged on the issues and candidates. The powerful texting tool with texts coming from your friends leads to universal opening and a high response rate. Nothing produces turnout more than voters knowing that friends in their community know whether or not they voted. The impact of social pressure created by UpVote is unmatched and for us essential in punching way above our weight.”

“In Itacaré, our campaign faced unique hurdles because of our diverse population and landscape. Discovering UpVote was like striking gold. It gave us the perfect balance of stability and flexibility we needed to handle our complex data and demographic challenges.”

Campaign Manager for Israeli PM
Benjamin Netanyahu

“Now that the campaign’s wrapped up, I just have to say a big thanks to the UpVote crew. The system was not only easy to use and reliable, but it also gave us an edge in managing everything so smoothly. I’ve seen campaigns before without this kind of tech, and I can tell you, UpVote’s impact, especially when it mattered most on Election Day, was huge. And a shoutout to their support team – those guys were always there when we needed them, ready with advice and help.”

Voter Engagement Like Never Before

Experience unparalleled voter engagement with UpVote’s Peer To Peer model, designed to turn potential supporters into actual voters. Our platform not only leverages personal relationships but also innovatively matches the activist’s phone contacts to identify and flag potential voters. This smart feature automatically recognizes contacts who are eligible to vote and are personally known to the activists. By integrating this data, UpVote empowers activists to reach out effectively and personally encourage these identified supporters to cast their ballots, ensuring a more targeted and impactful approach to voter mobilization.

Your Data is Worth Much More - Artificial Intelligence in UpVote

In an election campaign, time is a critical resource. Although you may not be able to reach every voter in the voters book, with initial information and classification we create a profile of the voters who are most likely to support you. We achieve this using complex algorithms from the AI and machine learning fields.

The most advanced campaign management system in the market

User friendly

Understanding that our target group is not necessarily comprised of computer experts, the system was designed and implemented so that any end user can navigate it easily and conveniently.

Technology and security

UpVote was developed by expert professionals in the fields of information security and software systems development. We did not settle for a system that would merely deliver the goods: we wanted it to work well and be secured with the strictest standards.

Characterization Based on Experience

The system’s characterization was formulated by election headquarters personnel and experienced campaign managers who have cumulatively managed ten election campaigns. We used their experience, filled in what was lacking, and put it all under one umbrella.

An app for field staff

Winning an election depends a lot on field work. Engaged election activists are crucial to the success of a campaign. The various modules we offer include the ability to add supporters from any location via the application, and provide automatic classification of family members, receipt of motivation alerts, and interfacing with the phone book. All data collected is forwarded to the campaign manager, who receives real-time macro and micro reports.

Call center

UpVote’s “shotgun” feature spares phone staff the laborious search for people to call, displaying the desired conversation script and priorities predetermined by the campaign manager.

Full interfacing with social media

UpVote is an intelligent system that interfaces with Google, Facebook, social media and targeted landing pages, combined with chat bots, voter classification, and more.

Streamlined Data Management

Our system simplifies the process of merging voter lists with existing campaign data, ensuring seamless and independent data management.

Because of the Experience and Expertise in the USA

We understand the nuances of the USA’s election processes and legalities, ensuring that your campaign operates within the regulatory framework.

Because UpVote is Designed for American Campaigns

We speak your language – figuratively and literally. UpVote is tailored for the American political environment, using familiar terms and strategies relevant to your campaign’s success.

FAQs

The core concept of UpVote is simple – to identify as many supporters as possible and ensure they reach the polling stations through direct voter engagement by personal acquaintances. In professional terms, this is known as “Peer To Peer” voter mobilization.

This technique is dramatically more effective compared to traditional methods like phone banking or SMS campaigns (which are also available in the system). In other words, our goal is to help you create a network of active campaigners who, during the election campaign, will mark known supporters in the UpVote and motivate them to vote on election day. It’s simple, efficient, and most importantly – it works!

Data Integration: Upload and merge voter lists with existing campaign data. Activist Engagement: Recruit activists to identify and mark supporters. Election Dynamics: Use real-time data to focus efforts on supporters who haven’t voted yet.
Absolutely. Access to voter registries is standard in elections, allowing candidates to engage with potential voters effectively. UpVote operates within legal frameworks, backed by authority guidelines and privacy protections.

Client confidentiality is paramount. Post-campaign, clients can export their data, which is then purged from our systems in compliance with legal requirements. UpVote invests heavily in data security, including regular penetration tests and robust safeguards.
Here’s what the cybersecurity firm Cilynx had to say after a penetration test on our system:

“The test was performed to ensure the application’s resilience against possible data breaches. Cilynx’s CyberOps team conducted the Grey Box Penetration test according to the OWASP testing methodology. The current security level of the application is estimated as High.”
